Any significant departure from either the intent of these construction specifications or the approved floor plan will require prior approval of the Corps of Engineers (COE); P.O.C.:_________________, phone #:_________, email:_________. IMPORTANT:

NOTHING IN THESE SPECIFICATIONS WILL PROHIBIT THE SUBSTITUTION, WITH PRIOR

APPROVAL OF THE COE, OF AN EQUIVALENT PRODUCT, SERVICE OR FINISH.

IMPORTANT: For all supplied communication requirements and electronic security applications (K.1. & K.2. below), the lessor (or their contractors) are PROHIBITED (2019 N.D.A.A. law) from providing to the Government any such equipment or services as a substantial or essential component, or as critical technology as part of any system. These security / telecommunications products are PROHIBITED to be from any of the following source entities, any subsidiary or affiliate of such source entities: 1) The People’s Republic of China; 2) Huawei Technologies Company; 3) ZTE Corporation; 4) Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company; 5) or Dahua Technology Company.

Lessor (or contractors) must verify the equipment is not from any of these sources and provide written confirmation to the COE Representative prior to installation.

1. The Lessor will be responsible for permitting, constructing, operating, maintaining, and obtaining a

Certificate of Occupancy for this facility in accordance with the lease/solicitation requirements. Any changes on the build out of this space should be addressed directly to the COE representative. The recruiters for the subject office are NOT authorized to change anything related to the construction of the office. The general floorplan provided by the COE representative will be used as the initial exhibit to the lease, and for bid purposes. Prior to starting construction activities, space alterations, dimensioned architectural drawings with square foot allocations by military service and common area will be provided by the Lessor. These drawings will show at a minimum, wall, door, window, columns, electrical/communication outlet placement and finish schedules.

Note: A reduction of these drawings to an 11 x 17 format shall replace the floorplan exhibit of the lease or become an additional exhibit and will serve as a basis to resolve any issues of variance which may arise. The construction specifications and the contractor’s construction bid will both become separate exhibits to the lease.

2. Codes and Standards: The facility must comply with all Federal, State and local construction standards, building codes and all other applicable laws. Any variance from these guidelines must have prior approval by the authority having jurisdiction. Where conflicts between standards arise, the build-out of the recruiting office must comply with the most stringent requirements.

If the window contains an insulating glass unit (IGU), then the innermost lite must be the laminated glass noted above and the outer lite may be monolithic glass. If the Lessor is unable to provide written confirmation that the existing glass meets this requirement, then glass fragment retention film must be installed as indicated below. With written confirmation from the lessor/contractor stating laminated glass is present (on ALL windows/doors that are on the perimeter of the Government’s space, regardless of the window being to the outside air or a shared common space with other tenants) and meets the required standards above, fragment retention film is not required.
